The Western Slope Track Meet and Oratorical Contest The space allowed for this article is very limited so we will make it as brief as possible. If any detail is omitted that anyone wishes further information upon, such as the conduct of any person or persons while in that “vamp infested” (? city of Montrose, don’t ask ye editor for tie is only one against many. But to get back to our story, we all know that Addleman won second in the 880-yard dash, that Jones won second in the 220-yard dash, and that Kane won third in ttie mile, and that Friedman won third in the javelin. We are expecting great tilings from these men and from our oilier representatives next year and hope that their splendid efforts meet with greater success in the next track-meet. As for the dramatic contest, we know that Wallace Mast won first honors in the dramatic declamation, that James Rusk won third place in the Original oration, and Beth Derryberry third place in the Humorous declamation. Our other entries altho very strong failed to win a place in the contest. This shows more plainly than ever that G. J. 11. S. should and must have a teacher for tins kind of work before we can expect to “bring home the bacon.” The students and members of the faculty who attended the meet reported that they had a very fine time and that they were entertained royally by the citizens in general as well as the High School people. We hope that some day we may have a chance to return their hospitality. Altho we only won 4th place in the track-meet and second place in the oratorical contest, we are down hearted?—Yes and no. Yes. in that we had hoped to do better than we did and no. in that the ever buoyant and cheerful spirit of old G. J. H. S. is not weakened and shall not be downed now or ever. GALYA WING Chick A. Man delights me not. P. A wise girl, she keeps her thoughts to herself. Galva Wing—quiet and sedate Who crams many things into her pate. Has never an extra word to say But thinks a lot in her modest way.

I----------------------------------------------------------1 In 1921 then will be another presidential election to be overshadowed by a still more important event, the graduation of the Class of 24, now the eighth grade In number we are one hundred sixty, and of that number eighteen have started in new this year and were fortunate enough to be in Hie eighth grade. Of the one hundred sixty, sixty-nine started their educational careers in our local schools. Those who started in school under Miss Dewey number thirteen. Mrs. Lyon twenty-two. Miss McConnell el »ven. Miss Earn um eleven, Miss Copeland five, Miss Gig x seven. me pupils that have ttie highest general average are Vivian Crawford, Ream Miller, Daisy Green, and Jim Latimer. Their averages are very high, and there is some speculation as to which one will be Valedictorian. The Class of ’ 'i lias some of the finest athletes in the Grand Junction High School, among them are John Hiatt. Lyle Gales. Paul Lewis, and Harry Draper. Many nr the boys that will be fine athletes have not yet gone on Hi track, but when they do. it will he advisable for all the classes Seniors included to render them proper homage. Another important feature of our class is its good humor and wit. Without these qualities a class is as lead as the proverbial coffin nail. The Class of 24 is the host up-to-date and “peppy” class in the High School. Among our many humorists and comedians are James Bussey. Dean Forry and Norman Kunkle. All through the years our class has been noted for it’s originality and energy. !f any new idea comes into the life of the High School, you may lie sure it originated in the Class of ’24. We expect brilliant statesmen and shining lights in every calling to appear on the horizon when the Class of ’24 is launched. So look out for the CLASS OF ’2i. ---------------------f ATHLETICS (By Edward Martin) i-------------------- Great Laws of Sport 1- Sport for sport’s sake. 2- Play the game within the rules. 3- Don’t try to star at the expense of team-work, i—Be courteous and friendly in your game. 5— A sportsman must have courage. 6— The umpire shall decide the play. 7— Honor for the victors,»bul no derision for the vanquished. 8— The true sportsman is a good loser in his game. 9— The sportsman may have pride in his success but not conceit JO Keep yourself in the best mental and physical condition.

A Dream That Wrought a Miracle (Bv Burnett Dillon) Some people do not believe much in dreams, but there is one man whose whole life was changed by a dream. The story 1 am about to relate, happened to a Mr. X.. a prominent tenement owner in New York City. It was on the night of August eleventh. I came home from the office rather late and I was dog tired. A drizzling rain had set in, and not feeling very hungry, and not thinking myself to be an offspring of the duck family. I ordered a light lunch brought up to me. I had just finished it. and was preparing to enjoy a quiet smoke, when the phone rang. I got up and made a dash for it, hoping to reach it before central could ring again 1 took down the receiver and heard a voice say: “Hello Dick, that you?” “The same,” I replied. “Well. Dick, for Heaven’s sake come down to the club, and help us start something. That old ‘stone in the face Williams has thrown one of his fits and now the bunch won’t say a word.” All right,” I replied, “be right down.” When 1 reached tin club it was ten-thirty and the bunch looked like an advance agent for a funeral. “What’s the matter. Ed?” I said. He looked up. shrugged his shoulders, and settled back seemingly into deep I bought, .lust then Stewart, the fellow who had phoned me, came over. “Dick.” lie said, “for Lord’s sake play something” “All right.” I said and started. 1 hit up a few good numbers and one by one the fellows drifted over and started humming the tunes 1 played until I was tired then we went over and took seats in the big leather chairs. We all tried to start a conversation but failed. JAINITA VINTON Jerry A. I’m smart but I can’t figure dates. P. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. Jaunita Vinton- the truest or all We'll stand by her until we fall She has her share of fun galore And numbers her suitors by the score. All at once Ed said, “Gosh, but I had some dream last night.” Well anything was better than this sullen atmosphere, so we said. “Let’s hear it.” Poor Ed made a brave attempt, but failed utterly. Then Mr. X. who. up to this time had been silent, said: “Boys, pardon my intrusion, but speaking of dreams. I once had a dream that influenced my whole life.” We became interested at once, because Mr. X.. up to this time had never mixed with our bunch, and we often wondered what made him so quiet and melancholy. Well.” said Ed, and Mr. X. began: It was on the eleventh of December, last, and just such a gloomy night as this, only bitter cold. I had been over at the club, and not finding anything to do, I decided to go home to bed. 1 have always been pretty well fixed, and there is one thing that 1 have never done, it is to worry about anybody aside from myslf. But this night as I was on the way to my apartment, something went wrong with the car. and upon looking out through the window and thinking how I should hale to be out in the cold. 1 saw a woman and two children huddled up against the side of a building. The woman had just started towards me with her hands extended, when the driver resumed his seat and moved off. Well sir. that woman’s face haunted me like a ghost Try as 1 would. I could nol get it out of my mind. By the time 1 reached home. I had determined to go back and find her a place to stay Then I realized how hopeless it would be to attempt to find her in such a storm. I went to bed still thinking about her. Pretty soon I dropped asleep, and when I awoke. I was in a cold sweat. It was only halt after two. but it seemed that I had been sleeping for a week. I dreamed Ilia! that woman whom I had seen on the street, came to my apartment, and gol me out of bed and led me to where her children were. Both of them were dead. They had died of cold and hunger. She pointed a long claw-like finger at me and said. And 4»u could have saved them: but. no. it was your orders to have us put out when we could not pay the rent you asked. My husband was sick a! the time and could nol work. But did that LETA SHIPPEE Sally A. Many a genius was slow of growth. P. There is none like her, none.
